    This game isn't perfect. But it's close. I didn't like the controls when combat got busy, and the graphics on certain characters didn't seem to be as high quality as the main cast.
    The story, however, was fantastic, as to be expected. A few hiccups and one or two spots when I might've scratched my head a bit, but nothing to jarring. Not sure when I'll play it again, but I definitely will.

    Disregarding the scavenging that got a bit repetitive by the end, I enjoyed the gameplay. I found myself becoming fairly immersed in the story and it ended up being a moving experience for me.

    thoroughly enjoyed the story line. I've never been so emotional over a video game before. You can never beat the authenticity of the first game, however this one is in a realm of its own

    I just finished the game and it was fantastic. I'll try to keep this spoiler free, the gameplay was fun and kept me on my toes and felt pretty realistic most of the time. The story was very good I still don't understand all the hate I really don't think it's deserves. I would say if you are on the fence give it a try.

    Jugabilidad 10/10
    Historia 9/10

    Es un juego impresionante y no entiendo muchas de las criticas que se han hecho contra el juego. Los graficos y la jugabilidad son sencillamente impresionantes. La historia me parece muy atrevida, ambiciosa y que logra lo que busca. No es una historia agradable en el que el protagonista es el estandarte de la moral y de la ética, sino que esta constantemente cuestionando tus acciones a través de conversaciones con los personajes secundarios o otros recursos. Por mucho que me doliera la muerte de Joel, que esperaban, Joel mato a un hospital entero condenando al mundo entero a una supervivencia desesperante. Por otro lado me gusto que se atrevieran a matar a Joel eso hizo que todos nos implicaramos sentimentalmente con Ellie y con su venganza, este recurso es algo que ya utilizaron en el primer juego con algunas muertes trágicas que nos hicieron entender mas a los personajes. Por otra parte muchas de las quejas era que le mataron como un perro, desde el primer juego TLOU es un mundo cruel en la que las muertes no se hacen con honor y respeto, sino de forma sucia y sin honor. Es un juego que rebusca todos tus sentimientos y te hace ponerte en la piel de las dos protagonistas sintiendo rabia, amor, ira hacia los que hace unas cuantas horas odiabas o amabas. A mi entender la historia no ha sido comprendida y la gente no se ha dejado llevar por lo que le contaba el juego, por eso en el momento que vio que cuestionaba las acciones de los protagonistas del primer juego se enfadaron.
    El único punto negativo es que muchos protagonistas secundarios se quedaron con un desarrollo insuficiente, el personaje de Dina por ejemplo prometía mucho y al final se quedo en nada.    … Expand

    Great game. It didn't have the same emotional impact on me as TLOU-1, but this game is deeper and deals with more complex emotions.

    Pros: looks and plays great. Outstanding music and voice acting. Realistic characters. Some great action sequences. Attention to detail in Seattle, and the context-sensitive actions you can do. Complex story, which ended exactly as it should have. Not    Great game. It didn't have the same emotional impact on me as TLOU-1, but this game is deeper and deals with more complex emotions.

    Pros: looks and plays great. Outstanding music and voice acting. Realistic characters. Some great action sequences. Attention to detail in Seattle, and the context-sensitive actions you can do. Complex story, which ended exactly as it should have. Not your typical stupid video game writing.

    Cons: some parts drag and the game on my first play through felt slightly long. Subsequent playthroughs felt just right, though. The narratives on the collectibles were just not as memorable to me as in the first game, like when tracking Ish through his notes, or the doctor's notes in the hospital.
    Part 2 is also a bit more emotionally draining than TLOU-1. Gameplay and trophy-hunting is a bit too easy.
    Also, no multiplayer :(

    I've completed the game twice, once on the Survivor+. I feel if you don't pay close attention to all the game dialogue and information on collectible notes, much of what the game is going for will be lost on you.
    It's definitely a game I'll return to and play favorite chapters and sequences again.    … Expand

The attention to even the most minuscule details rivals that of RDR2. In terms of storyline, there are memorable moments and emotionally heavy at times. I personally really enjoyed the entirety of the game but I will say you need an open mind to truly grasp what the writers are trying to convey in the message of this game. My main issue with the storyline: I did feel as though characters introduced were not as gravitating or compelling as the characters from the previous game such as Bill/Tess/Sam. While many found the game to be controversial, I do feel as though you need to experience this game to formulate your own opinion. Even if you don’t vibe with the storyline, it’s undeniably an entertaining and beautiful game that raises the bar for future games out there. A definite contender for Game of The Year.… Expand

    This game is beautifull, the lighting, the graphics are really good. The story may seem a bit different, and wil probably shock you. The story shows how awfull it can be to lose someone, and how revenge is not the best way to lose those feelings. It is a really good game, no doubt.

    Just sayin' : TLOU is the story of a postapocalyptic Universe SEEN by Ellie/Joel's eyes, that's NOT "THEIR LIFE IN A GAME" (This is evident in chapter II ).
    I'm so proud of Druckman's Direction, proud of the compositors, editors, concept artists, designers...and all the people behind this amazing project.
    I hope they're not gonna give importance to sterile and unsense comments of people that probably doesn't understood the meaning of the whole adventure, just criticizing ignorantly about "plot-holes" or "this character had not to to act like this, this was like this gne gne gne!"... ****
    I'm not giving 10 cause of things/mechanics in game limited not by the deveopers but the hardware capacity of actual generation consoles (fire/explosions range for example).

I feel bad for those kind of gamer's because they can't see how different in story this game is telling. This one dwells on revenge and the feelings that accompany with it such as pain and suffering. It has it's heart moments but it's nowhere near where the first game was in it's story and I'm okay with that because I don't want another copy and paste game. If I had to break it down and sum it up, Part II is a masterpiece in it's game play, sound design, acting, motion capture, and all that jazz. But the story for me (which I loved in the end) isn't better than the first game WHICH IS OKAY. I loved Abby's character and sure I was heartbroken with what she did but she grew on me and I want to see more of her and her new sidekick in another game. If Neil and Naughty Dog decide to make a Part III, I would want the trilogy to come to it's conclusion by finding a cure and have Ellie do what she thought she was meant to do meaning, the first game d'welled with purpose, this with revenge, finale with redemption.

    Please buy this game and give an open minded opinion on this. If you still dislike the game, that's okay. But finish the game and give the story and it's characters a chance before making your final thoughts.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly, the negative reviews that complain about Joel dying really didn't understand the story. If you stopped playing just because your white male hero died, you completely didn't understand or didn't want to understand the story. If you didn't want to play as Abby, you didn't understand or didn't want to understand the story. The story was deep, complicated, and let two young women be complete characters without needing to be a man's sidekick. The only issue for me was Ellie giving up everything just because Tommy stopped by to whine about his sob story; that made no sense and turned her back into the cliché 'daughter', the female character in video games who only does things because they're motivated by a dude. Other than that, the surroundings were beautiful, the acting was amazing, and the violence was gruelling, which is what it was supposed to be in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Well done, Naughty Dog. If you were looking for Red Dead, Saints Row or GTA, you should've bought that instead.… Expand

Independent of time, this game will make you feel what it is like to be a human being struggling to survive a (much more severe) pandemic, and does so without pandering to the age-old game narrative of "good" vs "bad. Towards the end, I felt like **** and wanted the game to end a few hours earlier. But I'm not even mad - IIn retrospect, I enjoyed the grueling last few hours.

    My only complaints are that the game mechanic of searching every corner of the level after killing everyone somewhat breaks the pace, and at times it is incredibly frustrating to be searching for a safe code and accidentally go past that level's point of no return, causing you to save before every door out of fear of having to redo the chapter. These both break the immersion, but not enough to remove more than 1 point from my score.

    There is also the occasional bug (e.g. reloading levels changes items, and sometimes I was shot into space or stuck in walls). No big deal.

    Do yourself a favor and play this game and explore the way you feel while doing it. Even if you are upset about certain beats in the story. It is only a story, and if you pay attention, it takes you to interesting places.    … Expand

    Deep, complex, emotional, intense, wonderful. First: Its a big mistake to compare with first game (if not played you miss a lot of the sequence). Second: If you expected a "zombie" game or a terror game, you will be disappointed. Observe the rating of specialized critics and the users, so different, and why? Because The Last of Us part II is not a game for all.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.
